India

India was as usual falling like cards and tumbles out. From a very strong situation they preyed them self giving 51 runs lead. Now in australia's inning they scored well and having lead of 230 a good lead. They zre on 178/8 with still hussey there batting. Where will match go? More like it is giving result for sure but question is in wjoes favor.

WEll it jinx on INDIA that they will have good start then they will not be captized by middle orders and they fails to score. In a postion from where they could have got the lead 0f 51 or even but they gave away the lead of 51. shaME on them. Now it quite hard to say that INDIA will win this match but i can easily say that they can loss so easily that no body can guess. I am so angry that i don't want to talk more of it. Just want to abuse those mindless batsmen.

Rajeev you are right there is some kind of jinx on team India that din’t let them perform in the opening match of the outside the country. In overseas matches India had poor record and it seems they didn’t going to improve it. Bowlers had perform little terrible and they gave away few runs that i can understand but what happen to batsmen why didn’t they play good. This is nonsense nothing esle. Now they loss the match so your temper must be on 100degress hahaha! Cool down man cool down we cool they are the one who won world cup for us then lossing a macth will have no effect. Let it go they will perform next. Wish them good lcuk and we calm.

The third day really cost India the match. India had the match in their grasp at the start of the third day. But the batting collapse handed the advantage back to the Aussies. And despite the bowlers bowling Aussies out cheaply in the fourth innings, the second batting collapse ensured an embarrassing loss for India. Cheers! Ram

Yes, the last two wickets did hang around, but more than poor bowling that was more poor field setting. I think Dhoni was really very defensive with his settings and the edges were falling in vacant places. Also there were dropped catches which made it worse. Cheers! Ram

Third day is worst day for team India in this test. Yes poor middle order batting let down the match. Tney also didn't perform well in 2nd inning and three batsman who scored in first they too fall to do anything. You can't say that bowlers did well to restrict australia in second inning as 240 is good score cosidering 166/8 both batsmen and bowler had let the match go freely.

Well...i would like to differ on this opinion that it can be anybody' win...sorry, I can see only one win...Aus, Look at the past, all you can see is India conceeding a 1st inning lead...going on to loose the test match, India are poor 2nd inning batters....especially outside India...they never really seem to learn and go about batting for the sake of batting and not really trying to win,...Aus is gonna win this test match...i personally have no doubts about that.

richclass2 you were 100% true and the result is just in front of us. It is true that India had batscores in 2nd inning in overssea and so did today. I also get worried when India give awys the lead of 51 and you right it tureu whn they gives the leas they lsot. India need to work out well.They were at good situation and then they lost the macth. Forgot the past build a new future but they din’t. There is need of improvement and it must be made. A thumb up for confident opinion you did. Thanks.

Its a treat for the cricket lovers, who says Test matches are boring , I mean how can you takes your eyes off from such cricket. Three great cricketing days, its been a see saw battle between Indians and Australians. Well it is nicely balanced at the end of the day, India can win this one if they play with positiveness and good cricket on the other hand Australians can win this one if they bowl outstandingly.

umesh9889 yes the macth had sea-saw like but not all days for first day to till tendulkars wickets it was in favour of India and from the third day to match ends it was in fav of Australia. Not more juggles i sawa all were just instances nothing else. 3rd days end i think macth is in half but i forgot thet it is team India playing so macth is in full control of Australia. Match like this is interesting but performance liek this will continue for sure nobody from India look to sway the match they just want to listen the score or results nothing more.

Well how many times have we seen this? Sachin falls and all our batsemen collapse like a pack of cards. It was like the 90's back again :(. But the good part is that our bowlers have roared back bringing us back into this game. The first thing we have to do tomorrow morning is to take these two wickets as quickly as possibble. The ideal stuatiotn will be restricting them to anywhere less than 250 and maximum 260-265.. So if this happens and we can get atleast 10-15 overs of Sehwag's batting can surely win this match.. But as you know we have a tendency to always let the tail wag and and if this happens the Aussies with their pace attchk will all be really charged up and it wil be a really close game. We all know how good Huseey is, so it imperative we dont let them get away tomorrow morning. So a target between 240-270 is India's game to lose but anything above that it will be Advantage Australia. Praying for an Indian vistory by 6 wickets and a century from Sachin helping us do it :)

Nothing is good man. You right it the 90’s when sachin get out rest are jsut guest for few balls. It true that tem sill heavily depend on team India. Match is finished and India had lost by 122 runs a good margin when you considerd the scores somtime in this match. Second inning play was more deverstating when they were chasing for 282 while achevable traget but there was need of sense to play but no one did it and all come and go thats all. Hey fannekhan you right first India then sachin but you can see that wholen is still fully depedns on him only!

Hi Kundanraj, I too a great follower of Indian Cricket. First of all we should appreciate Indian team for its sprited fight back. I accept Indian lower order batsman should contributed more, particularly the lights of Laxman, Dhoni and Virat. Hope these batsman comes good in our second Innings. India should restrict Aussie below 200, that means we should have target below 250. Then shewag should fire because in fourth innings if he fires Aussies will go in defence that will be added advantage for India. Wishing Indian team Good luck for the fourth day.

yaso4u it is good to see you here on mylot as well it is my pleasure that you are with me folllowing team India. Keeping positive thoughts is good but it nor work well always there is nee to be done something. Still when you back them up till when? Laxman, Dhoni and Virat should have played well they didn’t contrubte in either of inning.They just were spectators in the match. India had ever able to bolwed up tails quickly had you seen the history? Never so do they this time and lost the match. haa haha I don’t understand what to say and whom to blame.

Its a natural scenario of Indian cricket. Middle order and tail enders often fail in scoring a huge total. I did not expect it after watching the second day, but as it happens to India, so no surprise. But yet, its hard to predict the result. 300 or something like that cant be a protective score leaving two days in hand for India. have a nice time.

You can't blame tails for not scoring. They can’t play well that's why they in tail. Middle order batsman is on whom we must blame to. Well Match is over so talking about it seem inevitable but i will tell you something. It was total fault of laxman dhoni and kholi who did nothing but just go to creser for bat to come in pavilion. Useless when they learn the things? when???? Score INDIA got was a bit chaseable with alots of time left but no one played well and they were bundled out for 179 to los the macth by 122 runs. I didn’t aspect them like this. Even bolwers were ascpected to bowled austrailia under 200 but they let them cross to reach 240. Both blowers and batmen are jut crazy.

Cricket is a very funny game...you cannot predict which team will win till the last ball is bowled. In the case of this match I have a feeling that India has the talent to defeat the Australian team as most of the Australian players are injured and out of form. I cant watch the live proceedings as I'm at work right now...but have a strong feeling that India will win.

Cricket is funny game, I know that. It become more funnier when team India get involve it. The test macth that INDIA had lost today is due to thier funniest performance and not due to stupidity or foolishness. I just can't stop myself laughing. Just don't hope anything from these idiots they can't win match overseas.

At one stage India were 214 for 2. Then after the dismissal of Sachin Tendulkar every one has fallen down. In the past, I mean a couple of years ago, this was a usual thing . But now a days, Indian middle has been splendorous. But, in this match, they all have fallen down again .

Hi! thewonderboy India had old diease of that falling like cards and this comes to suffer again and they loss the match. 214/2 a nice score each of us can say that and then it was just like sunami came and take aways everythig. It was 3rd day and then 4th day that took the match from the hands of India they played very bad in these two days. Middle order had niether peforma in 1st inning nor they in 2nd why they play? Just to go and get out. There is mistkes of bolwers as well they bolwed poorly in second inning and let Australia bulid 240. Anway it all happen let wait if some magic comes next in upcoming matches.
